would be unable to get the District Government to agree that their bridge approaches
could be delayed so as to permit us to remain in certain temporary buildings until we
moved to the new building at Langley. The letter also said that they must plan to re-
locate those portions of this Agency now located in areas to be occupied by the bridge
approaches. I telephoned Al Welling, District Engineer Commissioner, who advised
me that he still didn't know for sure that he was going to build a bridge, that he had
told his Highway people to "lay off of this matter", and that no one had discussed it
with him since our last meeting a couple of weeks ago. He said that he would get in
touch with his Highway people and call me back sometime this week. I told him that I
would be away for a couple of months, beginning on Saturday, and that if I were not
here to please talk with Mr. Lloyd. I also advised Bob Macy of the exchange of corre-
spondence with the Public Buildings Service and told him that I would send him copies
of this material for his information.
